OG, I am a bit confused. Do you think that a script for 1600 pills/day
is a good idea?

The 1600 pills/day is an outrageous lie that has taken on a life of it's
own because the DEA has been using it to smear this good doctor. It is
based on one error on one prescription that was made by Hurwitz's nurse.

http://www.cpmission.com/main/painpolitics/htrial.html
"It was reported in the Washington Post: "Court testimony indicated at
least one patient received a prescription for 1,600 pills a day." This
was shown in court to be a clerical error that never got past the
pharmacist. The nurse multiplied by the wrong multiplier. The Post
reporter was asked to clarify the 1600 pill detail in his report. He
said he felt that because he put it in quotes and was careful to note
that the government had asserted it, that this put it in context. So
1600 pills a day" was a clerical error, that the judge allowed left in."

You can go to the DEA site right now and still see them telling this
lie.

"Dr. Hurwitz prescribed 1,600 pills to one person to take in a single
day. This is what 1,600 pills looks like."

This lie has been a major, if not deciding factor in both of Hurwitz's
convictions. It was cited by the jury foreman in the first trial and I
have no doubt that after Hurwitz is sentenced this time we will hear it
again.

However, even if it were true:
http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/368/discredited.shtml
"According to Frank Fisher, a physician who served as a consultant to
the Hurwitz defense team and who survived his own bout with the drug
police, "1600 5 mg oxycodone pills per day, if this had been prescribed,
would have been only 8 grams of morphine per day," whereas "there are
accounts in the literature of patients taking as much as 35 grams per
day"

Like so many of the things our government spoon feeds us every day, this
1600 pills bit is nothing but a big lie that is part of a huge
propaganda campaign, designed to have Americans think they way the
government wants them to think. People need to wake up and understand
that nothing the government says should ever be taken on faith. Much
that we think we know is based on lies we have been told by our
government.
